Helena Bonham Carter?

[Blind Valentine]

Hi all. I'm a huge fan of Helena Bonham Carter and I wanted to write her, as I know she reads her mail and occasionally responds. However, I wasn't sure whether it's best to reach her via venue or through the Conway Van Gelder address in the database? I'm in the US, so I don't know what type of return postage to send; if I try her via venue in the US, do I supply US postage or an IRC, as I read somewhere that she collects all her venue mail and responds post-production from the UK...? Any advice wpould be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello Blind Valentine!

I sent to Helena after I saw the first success on this site a few months ago! Just a letter, SAE & an IRC, and have not heard back.

Several people have heard back from the Conway.. Address, but just by judging at the successes it looks like they all sent their own photos (which I didn't do ).

My honest recommendation...get her IP (unlikely probably for the US people ), or send a SAE, IRC (or two!), a picture (or two!), and of course your letter.

If you're sending in a venue in hte US, I would send US Postage. If she takes it back with her like you claim, then she will more than likely supply postage herself, or I've heard the ODDEST SUCCESSES of people getting a success from ________ to the US! Who knows these days!?

I'll post back if I ever get a success, or just look around her successes for anyone who got something without a photo sent.

Thanks philly0330! I think I'll try the Conway Van Gelder address; I do have my own photo and IRCs, so it looks like that's the best course of action. Thanks again for your help, and good luck with your request! {thumb2}
